Davis completes Rangers move

Rangers have completed the signing of Fulham midfielder Steven Davis on a four-year deal.

The Northern Ireland midfielder remained in Glasgow to finalise the formalities of the switch following his country's goalless draw with Scotland at Hampden on Wednesday night.

Davis, 23, spent the second half of last season on loan at Ibrox and has been a target of manager Walter Smith all summer.

Rangers finally agreed a fee with Fulham - believed to be in the region of £3million - on Saturday.

Davis helped the Glasgow giants win two domestic cup competitions last season as they came close to winning an incredible quadruple.

He is Smith's fourth midfield signing in little over a week following the arrivals of Aaron Niguez Esclapez, Pedro Mendes and Maurice Edu.

Davis, who did not play in Fulham's opening Barclays Premier League game at Hull, could make his second debut for Rangers in Saturday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash at Aberdeen.

The club will hope the recent spending spree will help appease fans angered by the £7.8million sale of star defender Carlos Cuellar to Aston Villa.

Smith vowed to spend the cash received for the Spaniard on new signings and has so far lived up to that promise.
